Pool Party
Another sneak peek! I had an opportunity to sit down for a couple minutes this afternoon and decided to stamp a simple card using another one of our upcoming In Colors that will be available July 1st!
The color I used is "Pool Party" and with a name like that, it has to be exciting! when I first saw it, I thought it looked very similar to our Baja Breeze color, but when I compared the two, Pool Party is definitely a lot lighter and has more of a pale green undertone. Think beautiful Caribbean ocean!
Once again I picked a color combo from my Color Coach and this one was Pool Party, Wild Wasabi & Chocolate Chip and decided to use my "Simply Said" stamp set. This set is actually on the retirement list and is only available until the end of June!
With a stylus and my Frost White shimmer paint, I added some small shimmery dots to the flower centers on my card base as well as the petals on the main image. So pretty. I also used my paper piercer and my Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write marker for the faux zig-zag stitching along the side.
I finished it off with some of our new scallop edge polka dot ribbon (available July 1st) and some of our Espresso/White Bakers Twine from our Summer Mini catalogue!
I absolutely love this card and put it together is less than 15 minutes.
Hope you like it.

Wisteria Wonder
Ready for a little sneak peek? I received my preorder this morning with the new In Colors which will be available July 1st and want to share a card I quickly stamped using one of the five colors during my daughters nap.
I used the color Wisteria Wonder and love it. It's a soft purple that I know will work for so many occasions. I took a peek at my new In color Color Coach cards and one of the color suggestions was Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette & Cherry Cobbler. I don't think I would have come up with that color combo on my own, but when I saw the colors together, I immediately thought "baby". They may not be a traditional color choice, but I think they work well together!
What do you think? I used one of my favorite stamp sets (Aviary) as well as the new set Four Frames which will also be available July 1st. The little greeting is stamped with my Teeny Tiny Wishes set - that set pretty much covers every occasion as well!!! And of course, I finished it off with three of our little pearls because I can't seem to finish a card without adding pearls or rhinestones! ;) Love it.
Hope you like it. I'm hoping to stamp a few new samples using the new colors, so check back soon.
Also, if you'd like to try out these new colors, join me at my New Catalogue Party on Monday, June 27th! Stamp with new products, enjoy some yummy goodies and browse our new catalogue! Additional details are on my website and there's even a simple link to RSVP! (RSVP by THIS Friday, June 24). Hope you can make it!

Masculine Card Swap
Once again my downline and I participated in a card swap. This one had a masculine theme, but we were able to choose whatever colors, stamps and layout we wanted. Again I was thrilled with the creativeness in the swaps. So many good ideas!
Here they are in alphabetical order:

From "Goof" to "Gorgeous!"
Can you see it?
No? How about now?
Yes, it happened...the dreaded stamp rock. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. You're happily stamping away, pressing stamps to paper when all of a sudden you lift your stamp and...what? WHAT? NOOOO! The stamp has rocked and it's left a "shadow" of ink around your image. Frustrating!
I was already this far along with the card though, so I had to continue...I just needed to get creative. I grabbed my Big Shot and Fun Flowers die (have I mentioned how much I love this die? I have? Oh, ok then...) and cut out a few petals from my newsprint designer paper and some Basic Black cardstock, stamped and cut out the skeleton key image (part of the Artistic Etchings stamp set I was using), added a button and...instant fix! No more inky stamp shadow!
Ok, so it's still there, but now it's hidden! SO much better.
A quick note about the newsprint paper. Would you believe it's not actually a stamp or piece of our designer paper. Nope, it's a My Digital Studio download! It's the First Edition Stamp Brush set - and it's only $2.50!!! I purchased it last night (the images are available to download as soon as they're purchased) printed the newsprint image on a piece of our 8-1/2 x 11 Whisper White cardstock and instantly had my own designer paper! L.O.V.E. it! Did you know that My Digital Studio downloads are compatible with other design programs? Even if you don't yet own the My Digital Studio software, you can still purchase and enjoy these great downloads!
If you look at the bottom of my card, you'll see I used another piece of my newsprint paper, but you'll also notice it's been embossed with our Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder!
I'll post a quick tutorial on how to do that soon, so keep watch for that. SO simple and yet so gorgeous!
Here's the finished card.
So pretty! I love how by using just black & white "colors" it really draws your eyes to the texture and details of the card.. Hope you like it!
